Couldn’t make the trek to clay-court mecca this year? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Take a tour around the Roland Garros grounds without ever leaving your computer monitor with the Media Mash.

Oh, that feeling!



Hmmm… Sounds like Super Marion could be a thoroughly entertaining commentator…

And, in other Tomic news…

Amazing win, amazing story. The legend of Facundo Bagnis. Here’s hoping it continues to grow…

Per Fila Tennis: "In his #GrandSlam main draw debut, qualifier Bagnis defeated Frenchman Julian Benneteau 18-16 in the 5th set after almost 4 and a half hours on court. He won three matches to qualify for the first time at a major (it was his 10th attempt). This was his 2nd #atpworldtour level event this year. At the end of the match, Bagnis burst into tears and called home from the court. What a way to make a #grandslam debut!"



I think it’s safe to say that nobody likes Carlos Berlocq’s grunting. There are some who tolerate it, but it seems that most share Ed McGrogan’s opinion. Today on ESPN, commentator Chris Fowler and Darren Cahill had a field day ripping into Berlocq for his annoying—and sporadic—grunting. Fowler: “It sounds like he’s regurgitating.”

Have to love how Berlocq, who embarrasses the sport w/his grunts while hitting, makes hardly a sound when he wins. #RG14

You forfeit your right to criticize azarenka until you condemn Carlos Berloq ("it hurts on the headphones," says tv crew member)

The incredibly talented and always entertaining Michael Llodra is one of the last of a dying breed. A serve-and-volley guru, with some of the softest hands that the game has ever seen. Clay not his best surface but he’ll most certainly be missed at Roland Garros regardless…



If you play Kristina Mladenovic, try to play her outside of France. The woman is tough, tough, tough on her home soil:

.@KikiMladenovic has 3 Top 10 wins all in Paris... No.8 Kvitova (2013 Paris Indoors), No.10 Halep (2014 Paris Indoors), No.2 Li (#RG14)

We interrupt this full day of tennis for a little old-school jam-fest. Not quite Django Reinhart but we’ll take it!



He did it! He’s done it! And he will never have to do it again! Congrats, Marinko, you are way too talented to keep this streak going…

#Matosevic records 1st Grand Slam victory (in 13 tries) in R1 vs Brown 7-6(5), 6-4, 6-7(1), 7-5. LIVE SCORES: http://t.co/gLM2a71IXB #RG14

Only on clay: You CANNOT be serious. Oh yes I can, look at the ballmark….



We don’t know what Dr. Ivo said after upsetting Grigor Dimitrov in Straight sets – but WE FELT WHAT HE SAID!!!



Good times for Ana: A decisive win and a pretty decent draw, why shouldn’t she be flashing the smile?
